Nice list! I would like each one! Especially the one that enables the 3D printer to print in different colors and materials. But I think that one will have to wait until I get a loan from the bank!..haha. But it’s really cool!! I’d also really like to have the retouching tool for all the mistakes and bad spots. I’ve got this list saved and am going to be coming back to it to knock off these things one at a time. Thanks! Another little do-dad someone might like is the sticky goo that goes on a unheated printer bed. I forgot the name of it. It’s not as cool as all these things but could be a good stocking stuffer.

Please be aware when coating your 3d prints using the Patt A and part B there are fumes that can be very bad for your health…always wear a mask. I almost ended up in the hospital with a severe allergic reaction….!!
